Yes it is very easy to comment about things far away. It is also easier to see things as all rosey and nice. Most of the world have very little information about the situation, I'd venture to say that most of us here are unqualified to give an opionion. One of top producing nations of refugees in the world is Iraq, and that is without a war. Saddam has declared war on his own people and family for far too long, he has killed his own family/relatives to stay in power.
I was part of Amnesty International, so I did learn a lot about many countries; I live in South Africa for the first 18 years of my life. I have seen and heard of many atrocities. There is no nice way of this mess; if there was a peaceful solution to the problem it would have been found.. but after a decade surely people realise he isn't going to suddenly leave or start being nice.
